<h2>Copying Exif metadata</h2>

<p>It is typical to lose Exif metadata of original images when constructing a new HDR image from bracketed exposures. You can fix this by doing a mass-copy of Exif metadata to tonemapped images.</p>

<p>To do so, choose <em>Tools&nbsp;&gt; Copy Exif Data...</em> menu item in the main window.</p>

<p><img src="images/copy-exif.png"  width="600" /></p>

<p>With this dialog you can copy the Exif data contained in a set of files (the sources) into another set of files (the destinations). This is a pairwise, one-to-one data copy, i.e. the first file in the destination list gets the Exif data from the first file in the sources list and so on.</p>

<p>Because Luminance HDR saves tonemapping settings description to Exif comment tag, "Keep existing Exif tags in destination file" checkbox is enabled by default.</p>
